That Elusive Certain Something

I was talking with a friend about some new landscapes I've been working on that had a bit of a Nebulous feel; yet for the life of me I couldn't describe them. I am trying to paint something... to capture something that I can't seem to put into words. I want it to feel dreamlike, other worldly, mysterious and compelling. I want the viewer to look at the paintings and want to linger & wonder.

These are the first three... I love these paintings & can see they're getting closer to it, but that "certain something" still eludes me.

You might have seen the beginning of this painting on my last post. It was to be an abstract with collage accents when I picked up paint instead of acrylic medium. With each stroke of color I could see the painting was attaining that nebulous dreamlike feel.

So far, this one captures that elusive certain something more than the others, but now I am hopeful that I might be able to attain it.

about me

Hi! Thank you for visiting :) I tend to be in a constant state of AWE over this amazing planet, & express those feelings in my art. I create Landscapes, Abstracts & Mixed Media primarily in acrylics with an occasional pastel or watercolor from time to time.
God's Blessings & Joy to you! ♥ Diane
